Past Events

In actuality, Teesside University's history dates back to 1844. At that time, plans were underway to establish a Mechanics' Institute; but, funding constraints kept them from taking off. The story doesn't end there because the debut of Unlit 1926 was halted by additional budgetary constraints.

By 1930, the Constantine Technical College was officially accepting students, having started construction in 1927. After that, the College saw many advancements and modifications until 1969, when it changed its name to Teesside Polytechnic.

In the ensuing years, other buildings were acquired and expanded. Another name change for Teesside Polytechnic occurred in 1992 as a result of the institution gaining university status and becoming Teesside University. Following the Further and Higher Education Act was this ruling.
